A campaign for Tourism Victoria involving two tourists with cameras strapped to their heads taking live directions from online viewers around the world has won the IAB’s latest Creative Showcase award for ClemengerBBDO Melbourne, and has now entered a second phase to promote the Australian Open.

Marketing has found five out of six and is stumped.

Here’s the highlights package of the five-day tour:
